July 3, 2006: Verbatim has released a new line of Mini DVD+R Double-Layer (DL) discs that are ideal for certain DVD camcorders.

Measuring only 8cm in diameter, the new discs provide nearly one hour of continuous video capture time on a single side or 2.6 GB of storage capacity. This is almost twice the capacity of current mini DVDR discs. Verbatim’s new Mini DVD+R DL media are fully compatible with the DVD+R DL standard endorsed by the DVD+RW Alliance and can be played back by the majority of the current DVD players and DVD ROM drives. The new discs are protected by Verbatim’s special hardcoat ScratchGuard technology, which makes them 40 times more resistant to abrasions than regular discs.

Five-packs of Verbatim Mini DVD+R DL media will be available this month, when the first new Mini +R DL-compatible camcorders are launched. The media can also be recorded with drives supporting the +R DL format. Pricing has yet to be announced.
